Project description:Although non-genomic steroid receptor pathways have been studied over the past decade, little is known about the direct gene expression changes that take place as a consequence of their activation. Progesterone controls proliferation of rat endometrial stromal cells during the peri-implantation phase of pregnancy. We showed that picomolar concentration of progestin R5020 mimics this control in UIII endometrial stromal cells via ERK1-2 and AKT activation mediated by interaction of Progesterone Receptor (PR) with Estrogen Receptor beta (ERb) and without transcriptional activity of endogenous PR and ER. Here we identify early downstream targets of cytoplasmic PR signaling and their possible role in endometrial stromal cell proliferation. Microarray analysis of global gene expression changes in UIII cells treated for 45 min with progestin identified 97 up- and 341 down-regulated genes. The most over-represented molecular functions were transcription factors and regulatory factors associated with cell proliferation and cell cycle, a large fraction of which were repressors down-regulated by hormone. Further analysis verified that progestins regulate Ccnd1, JunD, Usf1, Gfi1, Cyr61, and Cdkn1b through PR-mediated activation of ligand-free ER, ERK1-2 or AKT, in the absence of genomic PR binding. ChIP experiments show that progestin promoted the interaction of USF1 with the proximal promoter of the Cdc2 gene, and Usf1 knockdown abrogated Cdc2 progestin-dependent transcriptional regulation providing a mechanism for direct regulation of its expression. Finally, Cdc2 knockdown blocked R5020 induced UIII cell proliferation. We conclude that progestin induced proliferation of endometrial stromal cells requires ERK1-2 and AKT mediated early regulation of USF1, that induces Cdc2. To our knowledge, this is the first description of early target genes of progestin-activated classical PR via crosstalk with protein kinases and independently of hormone receptor binding to the genomic targets.

Project description:CHD8 is an ATPase of the SNF2 family involved in ATP-dependent nucleosome remodeling. Here we report data of the occupancy of CHD8 by ChIP-seq in human breast carcinoma T47D cells under different growing conditions. We show that under normal proliferation conditions CHD8 is mostly associated with promoters. Then, cells were subjected to 48 h or serum starvation followed by stimulation with the progesterone receptor (PR) agonist R5020 or with vehicle (ethanol), for 5 and 45 minutes. R5020 induced the fast association of CHD8 with a number of intergenic or intronic regions. We found that these regions were enriched in PR binding sites. Furthermore, they were enriched in H3K4me1 and P300, typical markers of enhancers. Therefore, our data indicate that in the presence of the PR agonist CHD8 is recruited to a number of PR enhancers. In additional experiments we demonstrated that CHD8 is required for activation of PR enhancers and for transcriptional regulation of progesterone-dependent genes.

Project description:The progesterone receptor specific gene targets were investigated in ovarian and breast cancer cell lines where FOXO1 was found to be a primary factor that cooperates with PR to activate cellular senescence genes (including p21) specifically in ovarian cells. ABSTRACT: Progesterone promotes differentiation coupled to proliferation and pro-survival in the breast, but inhibits estrogen-driven growth in the reproductive tract and ovaries. Herein, it is demonstrated, using progesterone receptor (PR) isoform-specific ovarian cancer model systems, that PR-A and PR-B promote distinct gene expression profiles that differ from PR-driven genes in breast cancer cells. In ovarian cancer models, PR-A primarily regulates genes independently of progestin, while PR-B is the dominant ligand-dependent isoform. Notably, FOXO1 and the PR/FOXO1 target-gene p21 (CDKN1A) are repressed by PR-A, but induced by PR-B. In the presence of progestin, PR-B, but not PR-A, robustly induced cellular senescence via FOXO1-dependent induction of p21 and p15 (CDKN2B). Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays performed on PR-isoform specific cells demonstrated that while each isoform is recruited to the same PRE-containing region of the p21 promoter in response to progestin, only PR-B elicits active chromatin marks. Overexpression of constitutively active FOXO1 in PR-A-expressing cells conferred robust ligand-dependent upregulation of the PR-B target genes GZMA, IGFBP1, and p21, and induced cellular senescence. In the presence of endogenous active FOXO1, PR-A was phosphorylated on Ser294 and transactivated PR-B at PR-B target genes; these events were blocked by the FOXO1 inhibitor (AS1842856). PR isoform-specific regulation of the FOXO1/p21 axis recapitulated in human primary ovarian tumor explants treated with progestin; loss of progestin sensitivity correlated with high AKT activity. IMPLICATIONS: This study indicates FOXO1 as a critical component for progesterone signaling to promote cellular senescence and reveals a novel mechanism for transcription factor control of hormone sensitivity.

Project description:Here, we report that in T47D breast cancer cells 50pM progestin is sufficient to activate cell cycle entry and the progesterone gene expression program in breast cancer cells. At this concentration, equivalent to the progesterone blood levels found around the menopause, PR binds only to 2,800 genomic sites, which are accessible to ATAC cleavage prior to hormone. These Highly-Accessible PR Binding sites (HAPRBs) are surrounded by well-organized nucleosomes and exhibit breast enhancer features, including higher estrogen receptor (ERa), FOXA1 and BRD4 occupancy. Although, HAPRBs are enriched in RAD21 and CTCF, PR binding is the driving force for the most robust interactions with hormone-regulated genes. HAPRBs show higher frequency of 3D contacts among themselves than with other PRBs, indicating co-localization in similar compartment. Gene regulation via HAPRBs is independent of classical co-regulators and ATP-activated remodelers, relaying mainly on MAP kinase activation that enables PR nuclear engagement. HAPRBs are also preferentially occupied by PR and ERa in breast cancer xenografts derived from MCF-7 cells as well as from patients (PDXs), indicating their usefulness as potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

Project description:Elucidating the global function of a transcription factor implies the identification of its target genes and genomic binding sites. The role of chromatin in this context is unclear, but the dominant view is that factors bind preferentially to nucleosome-depleted regions, identified as DNaseI-hypersensitive sites (DHS). Here we show by chromatin-IP, MNase and DNaseI assays followed by deep sequencing that the progesterone receptor (PR) requires nucleosomes for optimal binding and function. In breast cancer cells treated with progestins we identified 25,000 PR binding sites (PRbs), the majority encompassing several copies of the hexanucleotide TGTYCY, highly abundant in the genome. We found that functional PRbs accumulate around progesterone-induced genes mainly in enhancers, are enriched in DHS but exhibit high nucleosome occupancy. Progestin stimulation results in remodeling of these nucleosomes with displacement of histones H1 and H2A/H2B dimers. Our results strongly suggest that nucleosomes are crucial for PR binding and hormonal gene regulation. Keywords: time course Whole genome expression microarrays were performed in T47D-MTVL cells stimulated 0, 1 and 6 hr with 10 nM of progestin R5020. 3 biological replicas were performed for T0 and 6 hr treatments and 4 for the one of 1hr.

T47D-MTVL human breast cancer cells were incubated with the progestin R5020 for different times between 0 to 360 minutes at 37ºC. ChIP-seq experiments were performed using antibodies against progesterone receptor and a single Sample each with anti-H3K4me3 and anti-H3K4me1. Mononucleosomal DNA was prepared from cells untreated or stimulated 60 min with R5020 and subjected to deep sequencing using the Solexa Genome Analyzer.
